The one thing that irks me when it comes to the Disney Princesses wank is that most of the stories are reinterpretations of fairy tales, and feminism is not even a thing in this part of literary culture. Talking about how misogynist these tales are is missing the point entirely.

Agreed 100% People complain about Disney princesses being anti-feminist, and never once mention the source material Disney had to work with.

Then on the other side you have the people who blame Disney for ruining fairy tales, who ignore that there were all kinds of variations for most of those stories long before Disney ever existed. Cinderella has variations dating back to Egypt.

Egypt isn't a time period.

Look, I know many Egyptians hate being constantly tied to their ancient culture and they exist beyond that point. But when someone is specifically talking about ancient folklore traditions and they say "dating back to Egypt", that's a perfectly legitimate usage IN CONTEXT of Egypt meaning ancient Egypt.

Or you could have just said "ancient Egypt" or even "Egyptian mythology/folk tales." There's about a hundred other things you could have said apart from "Egypt," which is a COUNTRY and grammatically your sentence doesn't even make sense.

Anon above you isn't me, and please don't take your anger at me forgetting a word out on them.

For what it's worth, I'm the anon who first commented, and I didn't write the previous comment. I'm not particularly angry (especially if you just forgot a word), just pointing it out.
